WASHINGTON Kristine Lucius, executive vice president for policy and government affairs at The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, issued the following statement on the Senate Judiciary Committees vote to advance the nomination of Daniel Bress (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit).
Bress, a young conservative ideologue, is the third nominee to the Ninth Circuit to advance over the objection of both Ranking Member Feinstein and Senator Harris this year alone. This unravelling of a long-established process is part of Trumps efforts to reshape the courts and, in particular, to remake the Ninth Circuit, which has correctly ruled against his extreme and dangerous policies on several occasions. Chairman Grahams decision to force this nomination through in spite of the objections of both home-state senators is the latest example of the breakdown of precedents and traditions that historically protected our courts through senators advice and consent. Despite lacking California ties, Bress was advanced by Senate Republicans, which ends yet another Senate norm. The full Senate must reject this troubling nomination.

If people like this are unhappy, then I am thrilled knowing that President Trump made the right choice.
9th circuit has 29 active judges. Two vacancies when filled by Trump gives 16 DEM appointed judges to 13 GOP judges.
The two oldest on the court are GOP confirmed, birthdays 1934 and 1942. 85 yr old Carlos Bea is TBD, waiting for a Trump approved nominee to bump him to senior status. The 77 yr old needs to be encouraged to move to senior also by 2020 end to give Trump 10 confirmed active judges.
If Trump gets a 2nd term the court could flip.
WINNING!
I am not convinced that Mitch really wants that result. The slow walking of Judges is a joke.
As soon as I read the words: “dangerous” and “judicial nominee” and “Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit”, I wanted to shout “Winning!”
The 9th circuit has only 29 active judges, 11 of which have now been appointed by republicans. There were only 6 appointed by republicans when Trump took office.
By the end of the year (there are currently two vacancies) it will be 16-13 democrat majority.
Then you are saying there is reason to hope. Then I will hope along with you but at the rate Mitch is moving on Judges and for that matter all appointments I shall remain a little more skeptical.
Where were all her concerns about diversity when Obama and Clinton were appointing judges?
Kacsmaryk says transgenders have a mental disorder. Why so narrow a view. How about idiot NFL team owners like Jed York of the 49ers.
